Hey guys. The allis addiction is growing again and I’m back up to but I think 1 might be selling to a friend who needs a tow tractor.
So I picked up a D17 series 4 as I wanted the factory style 3 point and use it with my modern implements vs the 1 snap coupler implement I have

I am giving her a well needed clean up, tuneup and probably valve job and started noticing a lot of yellow under the orange. It’s a 64 with a serial number somewhere run the 75-76 thousand range. The engine number is appropriate and coincides numerically with other d17s I had and I believe it is original to this machine
Does the engine number and or serial
Number show a letter I anywhere if it was a yellow tractor/industrial.
I will try to attach photos.
Any info is appreciated

Thank you. Ok that makes sense as there doesn’t appear to be any color below the yellow
